Passenger and Baggage Flow in an Airport Terminal: a Flexible Simulation Model
نویسندگان
چکیده
The lack of a friendly and flexible operational model of landside operations motivated the creation of a new simulation model adaptable to various airport configurations for estimating the time behavior of passenger and baggage flows, the elements’ capacities and the delays in a generic airport terminal. The validation of the model has been conducted by comparison with the results of previous research about the average behavior of the future Athens airport. In the mean time the proposed model provided interesting dynamical results about both passenger and baggage movements in the system.

an Optimum Resource Allocation Model for Airport Passenger Terminals (RESEARCH NOTE)
According to the current Airport planning and design practices, for a given demand level there is a corresponding space requirement. While in practice, there are always trade-offs between cost and levels of service, labor and automation, equipment and fixed facilities, and expansion of existing facilities and the addition of new ones. In this research, the airport passenger Terminal Building (P...
